• Abstract: This paper presents a secure reinforcement learning (RL) based control method for unknown linear time-invariant cyber-physical systems (CPSs) that are subjected to compositional attacks such as eavesdropping and covert attack. We consider the attack scenario where the attacker learns about the dynamic model during the exploration phase of the learning conducted by the designer to learn a linear quadratic regulator (LQR), and thereafter, use such information to conduct a covert attack on the dynamic system, which we refer to as doubly learning-based control and attack (DLCA) framework. We propose a dynamic camouflaging based attack-resilient reinforcement learning (ARRL) algorithm which can learn the desired optimal controller for the dynamic system, and at the same time, can inject sufficient misinformation in the estimation of system dynamics by the attacker. The algorithm is accompanied by theoretical guarantees and extensive numerical experiments on a consensus multi-agent system and on a benchmark power grid model.

  This paper focuses on the setting when a Deep Neural Network (DNN) controller is trained using Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms and is used to control a system. In the first phase, also called the offline phase, the attacker uses side-channel information about the RL-reward function and the system dynamics to identify a set of candidate estimates of the unknown DNN. In the second phase, also called the online phase, the attacker observes the behavior of the unknown DNN and uses these observations to shortlist the set of final policy estimates.
